Overview

Built for the real world.

Compliance failures cost vessels their flag, their charter licence, and their reputation. HELM's Compliance module is built around the four pillars of maritime regulatory compliance — ISM, MLC, STCW, and PSC — giving every captain, chief officer, and yacht manager a live view of their compliance status at all times.

Log non-conformities, observations, and corrective actions
Record master's reviews and internal ISM audits with full documentation
Maintain your Designated Person Ashore (DPA) contact and escalation chain

MLC 2006 — Maritime Labour Convention

MLC 2006 sets the global standard for crew rights, working hours, and living conditions. HELM tracks every MLC obligation — from rest hour logs to seafarer employment agreements — so your vessel is always ready for a port state MLC inspection.
